Meghan Markle Thrown Behind Bars in $20M Rent Fraud After 6 Years of Dodging Tyler Perry’s Help — Public Saw It Happen Live

It’s no longer a story Meghan Markle can spin, twist, or smile through. Just before sunrise this morning in the exclusive neighborhood of Montecito, a convoy of black SUVs crept through the silent streets. Inside one of those cars sat court officers, carrying with them a legal order that would end one of Hollywood’s most quietly protected stories. Meghan Markle, once thought to be untouchable, was arrested and taken away in handcuffs. Her face hidden behind oversized sunglasses, she was led out of a property she hadn’t paid a dime to occupy for six long years.
This was no tabloid fantasy. This was a legal enforcement, backed by full court documentation, bank records, lease agreements, and more damning: a six-year rent debt totaling $17 million, and an additional $3 million in interest, legal fees, and damages. The woman behind this revelation? Gelila Bekele — Tyler Perry’s longtime partner and the mother of his child. She decided enough was enough.
Meghan had been staying at one of Tyler Perry’s luxurious Montecito homes since late 2018. It was supposed to be temporary — Perry had offered the house out of goodwill, when Meghan claimed she needed privacy and safety after her fallout from the royal spotlight. But instead of a thank you, he got silence. And not just silence, but total financial evasion. From 2019 to 2024, not a single annual rent of $2.5 million was paid. Not once.
Court filings from Bekele outlined that all legal efforts to reclaim the money were dismissed or ignored. Property staff who requested payments were pushed away, legal messages redirected to unresponsive lawyers, and even Tyler Perry’s personal outreach was declined. Meghan didn’t argue the debt. She didn’t offer to pay it. She simply ignored it — as if Perry’s kindness was now a right she didn’t need to repay.
